Seafund Empire - Surrounded by long, steep mountain ranges in the north and south, and due to the difference in altitude, the climate is rich in diversity, with heavy snowfall in the north and relatively warm temperatures in the south. Its territory was vast, and the fertile lands were able to harvest a variety of crops.

Another characteristic of this country was that it required a wealth of water resources, also known as the "water country". There are many large and small rivers in Japan, and many terrain where each river eroded the mountains. The Empire has been steadily growing its national strength while making good use of these natural blessings.

The current Emperor, Saifand Cain Rhodes IV, was rough, uncompromising, short-tempered and quick to quarrel. He is a so-called emotionalist, and his reasoning is thorough. Exclusive, there are parts that do not mind hurting others, but there are points that are highly sensitive and lack stickiness to things, but they were supported by excellent servants. His father, Kolanid Kain Safando, chose those with rational, scientific, and rational thinking and a strong sense of responsibility to serve him.

◆◆◆

Did you get a response from the heap data?

Emperor Kolanid threw words at his servants with blue streaks on his forehead. He was irritated. One of the servants who stood by him opened his mouth in a calm voice.

I'm sorry.

"... if you don't, you'll have to send a messenger again!"

"With all due respect, Your Majesty." I believe that the messenger I sent you earlier has finally arrived at the hedgehog. We are asking that you send reinforcements to Agarta not only through Heat Data, but through this country as well. It will take a few days for Heat Data to send or not send reinforcements, and it will take a few days for Agarta to set up an envoy and for Agarta to send or not send reinforcements. If so, I know that it will take a few weeks to get a response, no matter how fast it takes. In addition, our country and the Heida Empire were married to His Majesty the Emperor, but they are now in disrepair. You shouldn't have to remind that country so many times. ”

It was an extremely stubborn opinion. But that righteousness turned the Emperor Kolanid's nerves upside down.

"The Emperor of Heat Data and the Empress of Agarta have the same blood flowing from me." To put it differently, it's a family. We can't let the rest of them go down. If those countries move, we can win this battle without losing a single soldier! ”

No one agreed with him. Although he is over forty years old, his colour is white, and he has an elegant face that leaves a beautiful image of him at a young age. The slender beard around the mouth enhances its character. The servants thought it a waste. Silence is enough to be the emperor of a great power.

On the other hand, various numbers floated in my head and disappeared, and floated and disappeared.

Rescuing Castle Casa was easy. We've already sent 10,000 troops out there. Noono's army is tenacious and persistent. But we have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. There will be damage, but we will be able to contain it. The problem is that Elsmo's army is looming from behind. The number is said to be twenty thousand. You won't lose if you hit all your forces, but we need to be prepared for the damage.

No way, it was a miscalculation that Elsmo would move. It was unlikely that a small country would move Elsmo like Noon, but more than 20,000 soldiers are already headed for Castle Casa. If you do, you'll be pushed through Castle Casa, and this Sephardic Empire will be a battlefield. If that happens, you will be strung by your subjects to be a foolish king.

He knew from those around him that he was seen as incompetent, rather as an emperor. However, his pride did not allow for that assessment. As an emperor, I wanted to be called a lady. I've had that feeling for a long time. The defense of Castle Casa, which is happening now, was a great opportunity to demonstrate its excellence. If you can win this battle without losing a soldier, your reputation will be greatly enhanced.

In the head of Emperor Kolanid, there was a strategy. It was the operation of the Pope of Crimea, Vieille, when he recaptured the religious capital of Aphrodite. Without compromising a single soldier, she opened a rebel-held Christian capital without blood. Agarta, the prestige of Heedata speaks volumes. Fortunately, I have a blood connection with both countries. If we can use this to open Castle Casa without bloodshed, we won't waste our soldiers or our money. It was exactly a one-stone and two-bird operation.

But the servants expressed scepticism that the two countries would send reinforcements. Even if you send me, it's a small one, and it won't help us in the fight. In particular, the likelihood that Agarta would send his troops was extremely low. This was because in the past, he had refused to talk to Ricollet, the Empress of Agarta, the son of Kolanid, and the current prince of the king, Slanid, and he thought that the image of the Sephardic Empire in Ricollet himself would not be good.

Of course, Koranid himself was well aware of this. But he was wrong. The past is the past. Recollette herself is already the empress of the most powerful nation in the world, Agarta. In her mind, she's focused on how to develop Agarta, not on the vices of the past. In that case, it should not be a loss for Agarta to connect with Japan. I thought that the Emperor's written pleadings would certainly catch her eye. If you can get a colorful reply from both countries here, you can show the exceptional diplomatic power of Emperor Kolanid. He lengthened his neck and waited for the return of the messenger.

That said, if you mistake the operation of a soldier, you will suffer an irreversible blow. Reports say Elsmo's forces are advancing at a slow pace and are still crossing the border of the Kingdom of Noono. After all, it depended on the situation at Castle Casa. That said, it was clear that this battle would soon converge if all forces could be used to destroy the enemy forces surrounding Castle Casa.

... and the fact that Agarta is sending reinforcements.

Kolanid murmured in his heart. Even if both countries send reinforcements, it will take a long time to arrive. I know that. However, if there are reports that the two countries have moved here, the morale of our allies will be greatly improved. In addition, you can silently put pressure on the forces of Norno surrounding Castle Casa, as well as on the forces of Elsmo. With that in mind, he turned his gaze to the servant he was holding on to, and he shook his head facelessly to the left and right as if he were looking at Koranid's heart. He gave a small tongue with a disgruntled expression.

At that time, one of the guards came to him quickly.

My pleasure, sir.

"What the hell?"

"There's a letter like this at the castle gate..."

The soldier handed Kolanid a letter with a confused expression on his face. When the servant opened it and read it, he gave a similarly puzzled expression.

What's the matter?

"No, um..."

"Give it to me!"

Like a hiccup, you take a letter from your servant's hand. Koranid looked through his eyebrows and let out a crazed voice.

"... what is this!?"
